Mature
In front of you lies the portfolio of Stef
de Jong, A young designer with an affection for innovative and modern products,
both interior- as consumer products. With
a lot of motivation he shows an innovative
and fresh look. Orders are dealt with both
hands and a professional approach. Stef is
convinced that a person only can function
if he or she is completely him- or herself.
Also if this means that this person “different” is. This difference is in his opinion
interesting, mainly because of growing of
new ideas.

In this portfolio a part of his work from
the last one and a half year is shown. There can be seen an increase in his abilities
who he has developed during his training
at Industrial Product Design. One of his
biggest goals is to improve his abilities in
Computer Programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and Solidworks. He has linked
his development to the name “Mature”
(méy•cher), with a wink to his love for nature en tranquility.

EDUCATION | 006

HAN University of Applied Sciences
Stef started his training Automotive at
the HAN University of Applied Sciences
in Arnhem after passing his High School.
Het started his training at Industrial Product Design after completing his first year
at Automotive. He also achieved his propeadeutic at this training.
He started his first internshipship in the
second year of his training, about which
will be told later. After completing his internship, he attended classes tot complete his second year. He is now in the third
year, in which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to do a second,
deepening internship.

Internship at Ulamo in Ulft
For his 6 month internship, Stef chose to
do his internship at Ulamo in Ulft. This
company is engaged in the design, develop
and manufacture of radiator enclosures.
In addition, the company engages in powder coating.
Stef has worked in the R&D department
and is engaged in multiple jobs. His main
task was to work out an idea sketch to a
final design. His second task was to convert Solid XT Files of parts to Sheet Metal Files in SolidWorks. He also designed a
lacquer rack for tiny parts who had to be
painted.

INTERNSHIP | 008

Main Task
The main task was to develop an idea for
a new type of radiator enclosure. This
design consisted several series-mounted
plates. The end result was a producible
concept, and a requirement at the designing process was to make use of the own
machinery. A second requirement was to
make use of excisting, already-produced
parts as much as possible. The final requirement was to produce as sustainable as
possible and thus minimize material waste.

Side Tasks
Beside his Main Task, Stef also worked
on several smaller tasks. One of this tasks
was to convert Solid XT Files of excisting
radiator parts to Sheet Metal Files in Solidworks. In addition, he worked on a design of a lacquer rack for tiny parts who
had to be painted. For both tasks he had
to make dimensional drawings, because

the parts would actually go into production. For this were high level dimensioned
drawings required, as is customary in this
business. More images can be seen on the
next pages.

Schoolprojecten
Stef is on his training quarterly working
on a design task. Hereby will be focused
on different learning objectives Some of
this learning objectives are “Production
oriented design”, “target oriented design”,
“cost oriented design” and “innovative design”.
For the project “Jack in a Box” Stef has
developed the learning objective production oriented design. For the project “Child
Kart” he has developed the learning objective target oriented design, where is
looked at at the wishes of children. At the
design of the helping tool for carpet tile
positioners he has developed the learning
objectives target oriented design and cost
oriented design. For the project of the bicycle lamp he has mainly worked on innovative design. All these learning objectives
were developed, in addition to the basic
learning objectives cooperating and developing.
For the project “Jack in a Box” there had
to be made a design of the toy on which
account has been taken of injection moldability. In this toy there’s a mechanism
which gives feedback on the child. This
mechanism should be mounted without
screws or glue. The toy had to excist only
injection moldable parts and the mechanism had to fall into a sort of groove or
click system

PROJECTS | 012

Stef also worked on a child kart for little
children. Here were the wishes of the target group the most important and account
had to be taken of their wishes. To know
these wishes, a target group analysis has
been done.

In his second school year Stef worked on
a helping tool for carpet tile positioners.
These workers are prone to their backs and
for this reason there has to be a solution in
the form of a tool. Since the acceptance of
the audience is not very high, so account
had to be taken of this target group. The
cost were very important because it should
not exceed the cost of absenteeism.
Finally Stef has been working on a new
model bike light for an existing bikes line
of Dutch largest bicyle company. At this
project, it was very important to focus on
manufacturability. Because it was a new
line of bikes, it was also very important to
come out with an innovative design. This
had to fit into the style of the bike line.

Stef made â&#x20AC;&#x2039;â&#x20AC;&#x2039;his first experiences with SolidWorks on in his training Automotive. At
this training there was focused on usage
oriented design. For this, he worked a lot
with force calculations and tolerances.
In his current training Industrial Product
Design there is focused on production
oriented designing. For this, he looked a
lot at material properties and production.
The features in SolidWorks that he has developed are the basic modeling features,
Sheet Metal, Surface Modelling and force
calculations.

SOLIDWORKS | 014

Besides SolidWorks he also has experience
in rendering his models in SolidWorks and
Keyshot, as seen in some images. He has
also worked in the third year of his training with the 3D-program Solid Thinking.

SOLIDTHINKING CAMERA

015 | ILLUSTRATOR

Stef created soms assignments in Illustrator during his training Industrial Product
Design. One of the first assignments was
to create a simple layout for a washing machine panel. Also making a simple poster
was part of the commands.
In the third year, he designed an app layout for an electric golf cart, named The
Mantys. Here was the intention to design a
layout that was both usefull as clearly.
In addition to assignments for school, he
also designed a baby card, commissioned
by prospective parents. This design was
thereafter used to print the actual baby
card.
Finally, he also used Illustrator to design
his first portfolio. This
portfolio
is vieIllustrations
and design
ÂŠ Stef de Jong
wable online as full version. Because the

design in Illustrator pleased him so well,
he chose to also design his second and improved portfolio in Illustrator. To keep the
overview over the pages he has chosen to
use InDesign, because he finds that this
program is very similar to Illustrator.

Beside Illustrator Stef made also a few assigments in Photoshop in the first year of
his training. One of the first tasks which
Stef has worked on in Photoshop was
making a cover of any magazine. This is
shown in the illustration. In addition, he

has worked on various deepening assignments in his third year, like a Power Tool
and radio as shown below. Hereby there
has been took a closer look at the features
of Photoshop.

FURTHER AMBITIONS | 020

Stef has a clear ambition, namely to develop his skills in his favorite computer programs. With this he hopes to find a suitable position in business consistent with
his training, skills and aspects he loves. In
the portfolio he made at the beginning of
his training Industrial Product Design​​, he
says the following about his ambitions:
“The ambition who has become increasingly clear in recent years is the ambition of purposefulness. Merely by establishing clear and achievable goals can be
take further steps. I find it important that
commitment is shown and there won’t be
shown inactivity. I find it important that
commitment is shown and there won’t
be shown inactivity. This creates naturally
results, which again leads to motivation.
Motivation is also one of the main pillars
to achieve goals. By showing what someone does love and passion, someone will
get further. Hereby it is very important
to be innovative, and accept challenges
which are be created by themself. At this
being innovative, it is important to see all
the aspects who concern the objective,
and be receptive to innovations.”
